Months of supply is the number of homes for sale divided by the number that sold in a typical month. Four to six months is the range usually read as balanced.

Irvine Blog →Residential sales that closed May to October 2026, compared with May to October 2025; homes for sale as of November 2, 2026. A sale counts toward Northwood when the home sits inside the Northwood planning area boundary (City of Irvine GIS, Planning Area 8), which may not match exactly what locals call Northwood. Areas with fewer than 8 closed sales in the six months get no report, and a year-earlier comparison shows only when that period also reached 8.
